Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), 8 to 18 months of age, were maintained in culture tanks and were fed three semipurified diets. The diets contained 40% of energy from protein and 11.5%, 23%, or 46% of energy from lipid. The body weight gain and food conversion factors were similar among groups of fish fed the diets in each of the three experiments. Wet weight of mesenteric adipose tissue increased with increased amount of lipid in the diet; however, epaxial muscle lipid content was not influenced by the lipid content of the diet. Several hepatic and adipose tissue lipogenic enzymes (fatty acid synthetase, citrate cleavage enzyme, malic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase) were assayed. These lipogenic enzymes exhibited high activities in liver and relatively low concentration in adipose tissue of the fish. The activities of all the hepatic lipogenic enzymes assayed, except for NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase, were depressed as the level of lipid in the diet was increased; however, the activities of these enzymes in mesenteric adipose tissue were not influenced by the diets fed. The results of this study indicate that dietary lipid depresses hepatic lipogenic enzyme activities and that the liver may be a more important site for fatty acid synthesis than is adipose tissue in coho salmon.

At present soluble NADP-dependent dehydrogenases are histochemically demonstrated in three different ways: according to the standard method incubation in aqueous media leads to the precipitation of formazan, the formation of which depends entirely on the presence of endogeneous NADPH2-tetrazolium reductases. With the two more recently established methods these reductases are by-passed with the use of intermediate electron acceptors incorporated in the medium. In addition, enzyme diffusion is inhibited either by an increased viscosity of the medium (PVA) or by a semipermeable membrane separating the medium from the section. Depending on the technique applied different distribution patterns have been described. By altering the concentrations of substrates, coenzyme, tetrazolium salt and cytochrome oxidase inhibitor, it was possible to improve both the PVA and membrane methods. Although similar results were obtained, because of its advantages the PVA method is recommended in this report and a detailed description is given. Using the latter for the demonstration of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH), malic enzyme (ME) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), characteristic distribution patterns were obtained in the liver parenchyma of male and female rats. For the first time a high G6PDH activity could be demonstrated in nonparenchymal cells which are mainly found in zone 1 of the liver acinus.

Impaired testosterone biosynthesis in Leydig cells from streptozotocin treated rats is correlated with the reduced activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase. The results shown demonstrate that in the diabetic state the activity of these enzymes is reduced by almost 50 to 59% from normal levels. Insulin treatment restored their activities to normal levels. The diminished supply of NADPH in diabetic interstitial tissue is not the unique factor in the control of steroidogenesis, since the availability of large amounts of exogenous NADPH in the incubations of Leydig cell did not reduce the differences in testosterone synthesis observed when compared with normal cells.

Perfusion of rat livers with 10 mM-fructose or pretreatment of the rat with 6-aminonicotinamide (70 mg/kg) 6 h before perfusion decreased intracellular ATP concentrations and increased the rate of p-nitroanisole O-demethylation. This increase was accompanied by a decrease in the free [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio calculated from concentrations of substrates assumed to be in near-equilibrium with isocitrate dehydrogenase. After pretreatment with 6-aminonicotinamide the [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio also declined. Reduction of NADP+ during mixed-function oxidation may be explained by inhibition of of one or more NADPH-generating enzymes. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and "malic" enzyme, partially purified from livers of phenobarbital-treated rats, were inhibited by ATP and ADP. Inhibitor constants of ATP for the four dehydrogenases varied considerably, ranging from 9 micrometer for "malic" enzyme to 1.85 mM for glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. NADPH-cytochrome c reductase was also inhibited by ATP (Ki 2.8 mM) and by ADP (Ki 0.9 mM), but not by AMP. Concentrations of ATP and ADP that inhibited glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and the reductase were comparable with concentrations in the intact liver. Thus agents that lower intracellular ATP may accelerate rates of mixed-function oxidation by a concerted mechanism involving deinhibition of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and one or more NADPH-generating enzymes.

After a brief exposition to glucose, Thiobacillus acidophilus was isolated from a culture of iron-grown T. ferrooxidans. Physicochemical analysis of its DNA showed a G+C content of 62.9-63.2%. The new isolate grows best at 25-30 degrees C and at pH 3.0. Growth is possible between pH 1.5 and 6.0. Thiobacillus acidophilus is apparently strictly aerobic. Ammonium salts are the only suitable source of nitrogen. The bacterium is a facultative autotroph. In addition to elemental sulfur, it obtains energy from organic compounds such as D-glucose, D-galactose, D-fructose, D-mannitol, D-xylose, D-ribose, D-arabinose, L-arabinose, sucrose, sodium citrate, malic acid,dl-aspartic acid, and dl-glutamic acid. Thiobacillus acidophilus possesses the key enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle including NAD-and NADP-linked isocitric dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and the key enzymes of the hexose monophosphate pathway (glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase). NADH oxidase has been found in particulate fraction of extracts. Rhodanese and thiosulfate oxidase have also been detected.

Controls of fatty acid synthesis in bovine adipose tissue were investigated. Six Brown Swiss steers were fasted for 8 days and then refed for 56 days. Biopsy samples of backfat adipose tissue were taken during the fasting and refeeding periods. Rates of acetate incorporation into fatty acids (FAS), activities of acetyl CoA carboxylase (CBX), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and NADP:isocitrate dehydrogenase, and plasma free fatty acids (FFA) and plasma acetate were determined. FAS decreased 60% after 1 day of fasting and 99% after 8 days. FAS did not increase until day 3 of refeeding when energy intake was above maintenance, then returned to normal by 14 days. CBX followed a pattern similar to FAS, except its activity did rise above the control rate during refeeding. Plasma FFA increased 350% and acetate decreased 67% during fasting. After 4 days of refeeding, FFA returned to normal, and acetate increased to 156% of initial concentration, then returned to normal by 21 days. These data suggest that CBX limits FAS in adipose tissue of cattle.

Electrophoretic variants at four additional enzyme loci--two esterases (Est-2, Est-3), retinal lactate dehydrogenase (LDH-1) and mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI)--among three species and four subspecies of fish of the genus Xiphophorus were observed. Electrophoretic patterns in F1 hybrid heterozygotes confirmed the monomeric structures of MPI and the esterase and the tetrametric structure of LDH in these fishes. Variant alleles of all four loci displayed normal Mendelian segregation in backcross and F2 hybrids. Recombination data from backcross hybrids mapped with Haldane's mapping function indicate the four loci to be linked as Est-2--0.43--Est3--0.26--LDH-1--0.19--MPI. Significant interference was detected and apparently concentrated in the Est-3 to MPI region. No significant sex-specific differences in recombination were observed. This group (designated linkage group II) was shown to assort independently from the three loci of linkage group I (adenosine deaminase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) and from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and two isocitrate dehydrogenase loci. Evidence for conservation of the linkage group, at least in part, in other vertebrate species is presented.

Phenotype and gene frequencies are presented for eight polymorphic systems among the Nubians of South Egypt, namely, acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, esterase D, phosphoglucomutase I, peptidase A, and haptoglobin. Eleven systems, namely, albumin, ceruloplasmin, hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, phosphohexose isomerase, malate dehydrogenase, peptidase B and C, phosphoglucomutase II, and transferrin were found to be monomorphic. A single electrophoretic variant of phosphohexose isomerase were observed.

In this communication the results of applying various histochemical semipermeable membrane techniques to the localization of several enzymes in bovine and porcine heart are presented. The Purkinje fibers of the atrioventricular conducting system of the bovine heart differ from the myocardium proper in containing a greater activity of the glycolytic and gluconeogenetic enzymes--lactate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, glucosephosphate isomerase and phosphoglucomutase, and less activity of the aerobic enzymes--NADH: nitroBT oxidoreductase and isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+). The metabolic reactions obtained with Purkinje fibers of the porcine heart are less pronounced. These histochemical findings are in accordance with the impression that Purkinje fibers, compared with the common myocardial fibers, have a higher rate of anaerobic metabolism and a lower rate of aerobic metabolism. The activity of the NADPH regenerating enzymes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating), and the activity of acid hydrolases such as non-specific esterase and acid phosphatase is higher in the Purkinje fibers of both the bovine and porcine heart.

Blood samples from 509 Macushi and 623 Wapishana Amerindians of of Northern Brazil and Southern Guyana have been analyzed with reference to the occurrence of rare variants and genetic polymorphisms of the following 25 systems: (i) Erythrocyte enzymes: acid phosphatase-1, adenosine deaminase, adenylate kinase-k, carbonic anhydrase-1, carbonic anhydrase-2, esterase A1,2,3, esterase D, galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, nucleoside phosphorylase, peptidase A, peptidase B, phosphoglucomutase 1, phosphoglucomutase 2, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, phosphohexoseisomerase, triosephosphate isomerase and (ii) Serum proteins: albumin, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, hemoglobin A2 and transferrin. Fifteen different rare variants were detected, involving 11 of these systems. In addition, a previously undescribed variant of ESA 1,2,3 which achieves polymorphic proportions in both these tribes is described. Excluding this variant, the frequency of rare variants is 1.1/1000 in 12510 determinations in the Macushi and 4.7/1000 in 15396 determinations in the Wapishana. The ESA 1,2,3 polymorphism was not observed in 382 Makiritare, 232 Yanomama, 146 Piaroa, 404 Cayapo, 190 Kraho and 112 Moro. Irregularities in the intratribal distribution of this polymorphism in the Macushi and Wapishana render a decision as to the tribe of origin impossible at present. Gene frequencies are also given for previously described polymorphisms of 5 systems: haptoglobin, phosphoglucomutase 1, erythrocyte acid phosphatase, esterase D, and galactose-1-phosphate-uridyl-transferase.
